As another commenter pointed out, minimum wage affects less than 1% of the population. It's a bit bizarre to focus in on such a long tail. More importantly, Big Mac Index is based on the average US price. But Big Macs in, say, Arkansas can be almost 40% cheaper than one from California. So it's really not fair to compare the federal minimum wage to the national price.

>minimum wage affects less than 1% of the population. It does now. If it were raised to 15-20 an hour how many would it effect? If there was zero effect then it would have already passed because it would have been easy points for a congressmen to say "Look what I did for the poor and hopeless I care".
